Frequently Asked Questions — GKD Metal Fabrics

Practical material selection, application and document guidance for GKD Metal Fabrics.

Lưới thép kiến trúc GKD có xuất xứ từ đâu?

Toàn bộ sản phẩm lưới thép kiến trúc GKD Metal Fabrics được sản xuất và dệt trực tiếp tại nhà máy của GKD tại Düren, Đức, tuân thủ nghiêm ngặt tiêu chuẩn công nghiệp và môi trường khắt khe của Liên minh Châu Âu.

Vật liệu có bị gỉ sét khi lắp đặt tại vùng biển nhiều muối ở Việt Nam không?

Đối với công trình ven biển và môi trường ẩm nhiệt đới, GKD chỉ định mác thép không gỉ AISI 316 / 316L chứa 2-3% Molybdenum, mang lại khả năng chống ăn mòn lỗ rỗ và chống oxy hóa vượt trội trước sương muối và gió biển.

Hiệu quả chắn nắng và giảm bức xạ nhiệt của lưới GKD ra sao?

Hệ lưới GKD hoạt động như một lớp màn brise-soleil thông gió tự nhiên, có khả năng chặn từ 40% đến 70% năng lượng bức xạ mặt trời (tùy thuộc vào mật độ dệt và góc nghiêng sợi), giúp giảm đáng kể tải làm mát HVAC cho tòa nhà.

Công nghệ MEDIAMESH của GKD hoạt động như thế nào?

MEDIAMESH tích hợp các thanh LED thanh mảnh trực tiếp vào cấu trúc dệt của lưới thép không gỉ. Ban ngày hệ thống vẫn trong suốt cho tầm nhìn và thông gió, ban đêm biến toàn bộ mặt dựng thành màn hình truyền thông độ nét cao.

HIASHI hỗ trợ gì trong quá trình thiết kế và thi công lưới GKD?

HIASHI cung cấp mẫu dệt thực tế, hỗ trợ tính toán kết cấu chịu tải gió, phối hợp chi tiết bản vẽ Shop Drawing, kiểm tra TDS và đồng hành kỹ thuật trực tiếp tại công trường cùng tổng thầu và tư vấn kiến trúc.
